Course Overview

In this course students will develop skills for effective academic writing. Topics will include (1) writing in an appropriate academic style, (2) sentence and paragraph structure, (3) making a text ‘flow’ (cohesion), (4) writing definitions, and (5) describing processes. Students will learn how to produce a number of key text types including extended definitions and problem-solution texts. There will be a strong focus on vocabulary development using the Academic Word List. Outside class, each week, students will complete self-study vocabulary, grammar exercises and short writing tasks. Students will receive personalized feedback on assessed writing tasks.
